Mashup Score: 23Generalized pustular psoriasis: A consensus statement from the National Psoriasis Foundation - 23 day(s) ago
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a serious, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Estimates of GPP prevalence vary between 1.8 and 124 per million people.1 GPP pathogenesis primarily involves abnormal activation of the interleukin (IL)-36 pathway of the innate immune system, with secondary contributions from the adaptive immune system. Through a validated Delphi method,2,3 32 physicians specializing in psoriatic diseases from the Medical Board of the National Psoriasis Foundation formulated the following consensus statements to guide clinicians, payors, and patients in GPP management.

Mashup Score: 38Modified linear closure with standing cone management: An alternative to the purse string suture - 28 day(s) ago
Compared to fusiform excisions, purse-string closures eliminate excision of extraneous tissue, with the resulting scar typically shorter than the original defect.1 However, purse-string closures rely on a single suture. Compromise of this suture results in dehiscence of the entire wound.

Authors in JAAD discuss a technique for standing cone management that combines the purse-string concept with a linear closure. This allows reinforcement from multiple sutures, which decreases risk of dehiscence, without excision of Burow’s triangles. ➡️ https://t.co/cgwSzvgBYX https://t.co/neaOOtiBm4

Mashup Score: 65Subcision modification to prevent intraoperative blood spillage and to keep the needle aligned - 1 month(s) ago
The traditional subcision is often associated with the spurting of blood from the needle hub and rotation of the beveled end of the needle. These issues lead to obscuring the operative field, the need for an assistant, increase procedure time, and rarely ineffective subcision. Various modifications like bending the needle, holding the needle with artery forceps, and marking the needle have been reported in the past to prevent the rotation of the needle.

Mashup Score: 7Alopecia – New building blocks - 1 month(s) ago
Hair loss is devastating to the patient, but the diagnosis and treatment of alopecia are also difficult for primary care providers and even dermatologists. Given recent advances in the field, there has never been a more pressing time to reevaluate and improve upon the significant clinical skills needed to accurately diagnose and treat our patients with hair loss. This CME activity on alopecia is designed to (1) educate dermatologists in a simple, succinct fashion on the identification of, and the distinction between, the diverse types of hair loss and (2) discuss how to manage them.

Mashup Score: 12Guidance on screening magnetic resonance imaging decisions for congenital melanocytic nevi - 1 month(s) ago
To the Editor: We appreciate the interest in our study and comment from Dr Kinsler and are grateful for her leadership in characterizing the genetics and risk factors for children with congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN). The guideline to perform magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine in children with 2 or more CMN of any size is a sensitive rule of thumb; our original study1 supports the conclusions made surrounding larger and more numerous CMN phenotypes.
